One of last season's biggest trade deadline moves was the one that never happened.

On July 29, 2015, Mets infielder Wilmer Flores fell victim to rumors he'd been traded to the Milwaukee Brewers, breaking down in tears on the field before leaving to a standing ovation.

The deal ultimately fell through, and he hit a walkoff homer against the Nationals two nights later. To pay homage to Flores' shining moment, the Single-A Brooklyn Cyclones will give away double-sided "From Tears to Cheers" bobbleheads that feature a sad and happy Flores on either side of the figurine.
